  5. Pigeons on barley

    in Talk From The Field

    Posted

    I shot over laid barley yesterday with my dad, two hides, he finished on 56 i finished on 123, was a funny day and if i could have got more to decoy i could have doubled the bag. But earlier than expected they seemed to switch there line to a sugar beet feild that I suspect has chickweed growing in it. Still a good day but as motty said i suspect there could be more to come from this feild also. Lots a laid patches in barely around this year.

  7. Mini master drinkers

    They are what I use, and have done for a good few years. I get on well with them, especially if lifted up off the floor a little bit. Easy to wipe round the bowl and tip out to clean. I run them from ibcs, one pen fed through 20mm alkathene to 5mm rubber, the other 5mm rubber right through and have no feed problems. Only issue I have had, which is easily fixed, is occasionally some will not shut off after the initial fill and over flow, just snip a couple of twists off the internal spring and no problem

    Thanks for the reply, ive been using g89 but didn't have anoth so needed some more and the mini masters were given to me. Ive ordered so more g89 now. Good tip on the spring ive had that problem already so will try nipping a few and see.

    I had this happen to me around 2 years ago. I was set up in the middle of a pea feild and things were going well by around midday id shot 40 when a truck turn up and two blokes started walk over to me. They said they had permission and asked how i was doing, after a chat I actually asked if they wanted to join me and build a bigger hide were i was but the reply i got was were not carrying all our gear out here weill go in the hedge. Ok fair anoth i said cant stop them. Well the day carried on and i packed up at 6 with 110 and they had 7!!! All they said to me was they really wanted to be out in the middle didn't they!! Havnt seen them since.

  20. How many decoys do you use?

    I think most situations are different in a away, when shooting over maize last year the more I could get out there the better they came,started with 8 and the whirly. But on drilling recently I started with 8 plastic one angel and a flapper and the small pattern was the one they were more comfortable with for decoying. I even took a few deads back in that i had put out. Just play with things until they work for you.
